To review the results of renal transplantation after promulgation of the Human Organ Transplant Act in Taiwan in 1987, we conducted a retrospective study in the first 1000 cases performed in our hospital. Prognostic factors for graft survival were assessed with emphasis on the impact of donor-specific antibody (DSA). ⋯ HLA mismatches, delayed graft function with or without recovery, and AMR were significant factors for poor graft survival. Detection and desensitization of DSA currently might be inadequate to improve the long-term outcome of renal transplantation.
